Corrosion of Polymers and Elastomers provides a detailed examination of the corrosive effects of thermoplastic polymers, thermoset polymers, and elastomeric materials. The book is perfectly suited for specialists interested in the corrosion resistance and mechanisms of these materials. Following a general introduction to the composition, pr

Offers information on all types of corrosion, corrosion theory and the major materials of construction used for reducing corrosion, including metals, plastics, linings, coatings, elastomers and masonry products. The text provides analyses of corrosion testing techniques, materials handling and fabrication procedures, on-stream and off-stream corrosion monitoring, design methods that prevent or control corrosion, and more.

Corrosion can be both costly and dangerous, resulting in product contamination or loss as well as structural instability and premature failure. This handbook contains information necessary for ensuring that, regardless of the structure being built, the materials selected for construction will minimize corrosion and its consequences.

Corrosion of Polymers and Elastomers provides a detailed examination of the corrosive effects of thermoplastic polymers, thermoset polymers, and elastomeric materials. The book is perfectly suited for specialists interested in the corrosion resistance and mechanisms of these materials. Following a general introduction to the composition, properties, and applications of polymers, the book focuses on the effects of chemical corrosion caused by changes in temperature, moisture, and other corrodents. Organized by material type, the chapters cover each material's ability to withstand sun, weather, and ozone as well as its chemical resistance and typical applications. The book also includes compatibility tables for each of the materials and compares the corrosion resistance of selected elastomers.

Instead of using expensive alloys to construct a tank or processing vessel, it is often more economical to use a less expensive metal, such as carbon steel, and install a lining to provide protection from corrosion. Corrosion of Linings and Coatings: Cathodic and Inhibitor Protection and Corrosion Monitoring offers focused coverage for professional

This unique, hands-on guide helps engineers, architects, and designers chose the best synthetic elastomer to meet specific industrial needs. Organized for quick, easy access to the material, Corrosion Resistance of Elastomers provides a separate chapter for each elastomer with detailed information on physical and mechanical properties; resistance to sun, weather, and ozone; chemical resistance; and suitable applications. This outstanding reference features a comprehensive table illustrating the compatibility of each elastomer with more than 100 corrosives. Saving readers time and money, and sparing them the agony of correcting bad choices, is of immediate benefit to materials, chemical, mechanical, civil, metallurgical, packaging, product development, maintenance, and environmental engineers; architects; industrial and household product designers; and advanced undergraduate students in these disciplines.

Instead of using expensive alloys to construct a tank or processing vessel, it is often more economical to use a less expensive metal, such as carbon steel, and install a lining to provide protection from corrosion. Corrosion of Linings and Coatings: Cathodic and Inhibitor Protection and Corrosion Monitoring offers focused coverage for professionals interested in protective linings and coatings, corrosion protection, and monitoring techniques. The author details various materials and methods for controlling and protecting against corrosion. He discusses the use of mortars, grouts, and monolithic surfaces and explains how the use of inhibitors and cathodic protection help prevent corrosion. The book also provides details for various types of linings materials and coatings and includes valuable compatibility charts for each material covered. The author concludes with an explanation of a variety of corrosion monitoring techniques currently available.
